Although most people (using computers) will never pay for Windows XP as a separate product (either because they don’t pay for it at all, or because it comes pre-installed on their beloved PC), many are aware of the fact that it costs money, and that it’s a half-decent operating system (although full of security holes).
This operating system can do many thing, ranging from advanced disk and memory management to automated blue screen of dumps and multi-tasking.
But it cannot show me the bloody week number in the calendar. I can get an add-on that will do it, probably a free one, but I cannot get Windows XP to do it. Nor can I, as a user, decide which information (such as the date) I want to see in the “time” field on the taskbar.
How hard can it be!? Aaaaargh!
Lol! Probably cause the week numbers are a very locally, ie swedish, concept and would probably just confuse the rest of the worldmarket?
What do you mean world market? Is there another market besides Sweden?
No, Sweden IS the market for XP. Only swedes are stupid enough…
Microsoft have probably spent more on marketing XP than the Swedish GNP/BNP; they have shitty products, but they’re not stupid 🙂
